A newspaper, without going into any theories, doubts Oswald did it.

Darwin Payne - Dallas Herald reporter
J.D. TippIt and ‘O.H. Lee’
“[Reporters] John Schoellkopf and Joe Sherman were saying they heard a policeman had been shot in Oak Cliff, but I didn’t want to go out there. I wanted to stay where the action was. I didn’t connect the police shooting with the assassination.”
Later in the day, Times Herald city editor Ken Smart got a lead on the killer’s address and sent Payne to 1026 N. Beckley to gather information on the assassin, known to his neighbors as O.H. Lee.
“It was a rooming house, and I spoke to roomers staying there and to the manager and the owner and her husband. They described him as a standoffish sort of person who got on the telephone and spoke in a foreign language — they thought it was German or Russian. They didn’t know who he was talking to, but it must have been Marina [his Russian-born wife.] They said he didn’t mix and mingle with the rest of them in the evening when they watched TV in the living room during the six weeks he was there. On the radio, I later heard he’d been identified as Lee Harvey Oswald, and he’d spent time in Russia.”

I have found nothing with google in the Irish media about the 56th anniversary of the assassination. The reverence for JFK in Ireland while he was alive seems to have since been greatly dispelled by a combination of Hersh’s hatchet job back in the nineties (adroitly filleted by James Di) and a ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ attitude regarding the assassination.
The capacity for looking the other way seems extraordinarily strong among the Irish for historical reasons.
It’s interesting though that JFK’s assassination still reverberates so much in the US and elsewhere even after all these years, as evidenced by the material posted above by Greg. Was Lincoln’s assassination still evoking such strong feelings and memories in 1921? I doubt it.
It appears that the political implications of the JFK assassination, the official cover-up by the Warren Commission of the conspiracy involved (which cover-up was officially confirmed in effect by the HSCA) and the failure of successive US governments to investigate the conspiracy as found by its own investigative body, the HSCA, thus rendering them accessories to the crime, have inevitably left a lasting traumatic impact on the public consciousness and the US body politic which remains unresolved.

In my opinion, I think Sean Murphy (or Bart Kamp whoever it was) finding that guy in the doorway, which is pretty dark back in there and probably needed to be lightened in Photoshop, was a pretty amazing discovery because the figure is not readily noticeable.

Free copies are for those who might be able to help us move this case along.
That group are well known writers in this country and may be able to help get some exposure down here for things like PM.
Can you do anything to help? If so, tell me what it is and I'll send the book.
If not, don't be a tight-arse. I still haven't broken even on what it cost. You can get a hard copy of the combined volumes thru Amazon for 16.05 or get both volumes as ebooks for under $9.00.

Hi Greg, thanks for your reply. I feel I have contributed. Not a lot but I have. I made what I think is an outstanding photo illustration of the autopsy wounds that's very convincing. And I have offered a lot of push back to the flakes and nuts who hover around this case. I think that should be of some value. Of course, not a lot like you have and others have.
I read that article you posted here and in the comments you said something like "You're welcome to a copy of it" to the author of the article so I had assumed that you were giving free copies away. That's why I reached out to you about a free copy. I'm sorry you've not made your money back on the work you put into it. I know that feeling - I did some work for Jim DiEugenio free a few years back. You can see it on his website, including the promo ad I made for him. He wasn't even going to do anything for the JFK100 event and I hounded him that he should. So I made the promo for him as well as put the presentations together as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXbv3Wbt2cY
https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/jfk-at-100
I also put his Vietnam presentation together for him:
https://kennedysandking.com/images/pdf/vietnam-declassified-rev-2018.pdf
Then, I had found out through second-hand information that he was going to be at Dulles to present Vietnam with Oliver Stone. He knew I lived a few miles away and I would have loved to have gone to the presentation and met him. He also knew I was deaf and require ASL interpreters for public events like this. But he never even bothered to offer an invitation for me to go to the Dulles event after I had been doing this volunteer work for him.
The funniest thing of all is when he was earning his MA degree at CSUN he was on campus with one of the largest deaf communities in the U.S.
https://www.csun.edu/deafproject
Anyway, rambling aside, I know what it feels like to put in effort with little or no reward. I guess the only way to make money related to this case is to go over to the dark side with Posner and Myers, or to have gotten started real early before the JFK movie came out like flakey Dave Lifton did. Once Stone's JFK came out, all bets were off and the conspiracy community was put over into the kooks and krazies corner.

Would love to make money as a writer, but not especially from the assassination. Just breaking even is the aim with that. I ended up putting all my main research for volume 3 on the web for free when I thought I'd never recover enough to write it.
Sorry you feel that you were screwed over by Jim. I've had my share of arguments with him, but what you describe does sound out of character. I think you need to air those grievances with him, if you haven't already.
